My recent beauty obssession!

I wanted to share with everyone a beauty product that I found that is amazing! I've always had fragile, breakable lashes, so I decided to try Loreal's Lash Boosting Serum to help condition them. I wish I had of taken a before and after picture because this stuff really works! You apply it to your lashes twice a day, before bedtime and in the morning before applying mascara. In about a week it made my lashes longer, stronger, and thicker-looking. I love it! It is a little pricey (about $13), but I got a coupon out of the paper a couple of weeks ago, and I'm sure you could also find a coupon online. Give it try, I'm sure you'll love it too!

I was not paid to do this article.

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Just wanted to share with you what we had hopping around our backyard this weekend!

Picture Day

So today was picture day at Miss Priss' preschool. Of course she wanted to wear Lilly, and of course, I wanted her to also. She looked adorable, but I wanted her to wear this cute pink ring that matched her dress. You wouldn't believe what my four year-old said. Me: "Why don't you wear this cute pink ring that matches your dress?" Miss Priss: "No! I don't wear fake jewelry anymore!" Oh. Well excuse me! I'm 27 and I still wear some fake jewelry! Have I created a monster?!!!

The Best Ever (And Easiest) Peanut Butter Cookies!

I have just got to share this recipe with y'all! I have already made it 3 times this weekend! If you love peanut butter, you will love these cookies! And best of all, there is only 3 ingredients!!

Easy Peanut Butter Cookies

1 Cup peanut butter
1 Cup sugar
1 Egg

Mix all ingredients in a mixing bowl to form a dough. Roll into 1 inch balls, then roll in sugar. Place on a greased cookie sheet and press an "X" pattern on top of the cookies with a fork. Bake on 350 for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.

Sorry for the lack of pictures, but my husband kept eating them before I could get one! They are amazing, though, so please try them!

And the winner is.....

I am so excited to announce the winner of my first giveaway!!! Congrats to Pink Cashmere Cardigan! She has an adorable blog, and two of the cutest kids you have ever seen! I have had so much fun doing this, I'm already planning my next giveaway! Thanks again to everyone who entered!!!

What's blooming in my yard

I love spring! I especially love all the new flowers that come up in the spring. I thought it would be fun to take you on a little tour of what's blooming in my yard! If you are from the south, chances are you have an azealea bush in your yard. I have about four different colors in my yard, but these are my favorite! Also, we have a Dogwood tree, the North Carolina state flower! This is a "bleeding heart" plant. Very unique and fun! Last but not least, my favorite, the Iris. I just love their vivid purple color! Enjoy all the beautiful new life around you, because God created it for us to enjoy. Happy Spring!

The Very Preppy Caterpillar

In my pre-school class we have been learning all about spring, and reading Eric Carle's "The Very Hungry Caterpillar." So for our craft, naturally, we made caterpillars! Imagine my delight when my daughter chose to do hers pink and green! (It was a very proud moment for me!) When I asked her why she chose those colors, she responded "because they are Lilly colors!" So instead of a very hungry Caterpillar, we made a very "preppy" Caterpillar!

PS- don't forget to enter my giveaway, it ends AT 6PM tommorrow!

I heart Target!

I just found the most adorable black patent sandals at Target for $24.99! They are made by Miss Trish of Capri for Target, and absolute perfection! Target carried this brand last year, but before I could get the sandals I wanted they had sold out of my size. So if you want these beauties, word of advice, act fast! They were not on sale yet, but if you keep the receipt and they go on sale within two weeks, you can take the receipt back and get a price adjustment. They had adorable ones for children, also, but of course they didn't have my minnie's size! (Yes, we had a major meltdown on our hands!) I can't wait to wear these with khaki shorts, a black tee, and a tan this summer!

(Sorry about the picture quality, I could NOT get a good picture! Maybe due to the screaming 4 year old in the background!)

My wish list

I thought it would be fun to put a little list together of what I would buy if I were rich and could buy anything I desired (I'm not and I can't)! First on my list would be a Lilly Pulitzer golf cart (for cruising around our neighboorhood at the beach), a David Yurman Morganite ring (just a mere $2650, ha!) A Bottega Veneta pink tote,
A Lilly Pulitzer Linda Marie dress, Lilly Pulitzer Later Gator Sandals, A OndadeMar Morrocan cover-up, And last, but certainly not least, the Lilly Pulitzer Treasure Chest quilt and bed set! Realistically, none of these things are in my budget right now, but it's nice to dream!

I need this......

OMG, when I saw this I just about fell out of my seat! Lilly has made a bike! I really need this, but unfortunately I don't think the hubby will share in my enthusiasm! I can still dream, right? Check it out for yourself on Lilly's website under new arrivals.

Giveaway!!!

I just found a great giveaway at the cutest blog ever! If you haven't checked out the Prissy and Preppy Flamingo yet, you must check it out now!! She is giving away a custom Lilly needlepoint keychain to one lucky reader! They are simply adorable! You must enter now!!!!

Where I've been

Hi everyone! Sorry for my lack of posts lately; it has been a crazy week! I started back working at my daughters preschool last week, and since Sunday I've had a horrible cold! I'm finally getting better, though, but now both my kids are sick! Anyways, I promise a really fun post tommorrow! I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!
